Beschreibung

Compared to other animals, the way humans live - our manners, morals, habits, experiences, relationships, technology, values - changes at a bewildering speed. Why is this? Felipe Fern-ez-Armesto offers some revolutionary answers to this fundamental question about our species - and speculates on what they mean for our future.
